USB Versus Parallel: Windows

Installation instructions are included for both USB and 
parallel connections. 

Oki Data recommends using a USB 

connection, as your printer is performance optimized for a 
USB interface

.

Printer Drivers Available

Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and 
PostScript emulation. 

When to Use the PCL Driver

If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript  
graphics (including “.eps” files), choose the PCL driver. 
This will be more efficient and give good results.

When to Use the PostScript Emulation Driver

If you use PostScript fonts or you will be printing PostScript 
graphics, choose the PostScript emulation driver. 
Performance will be faster and graphics will be printed at 
their best quality.
